You already know this, but I still want to put it onto your blog: I just want to tell you that I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. I think you have a great blog. To learn more about the award have a look at my post: 15 Great Blogs.

I love the strong lines and patterns (and light!) in these image. Nicely done, Karen!

I have told by several Minnesotans (whose various family members have ice fishing cabins) that the true enjoyment of the sport is not in the hauling out of fish, but in the free-flow of camaraderie and drinks 😉

Is that a caravan on the ice in the last shot, Karen? How thick does the ice get where you live? It must be mega-thick! I particularly like the first shot because of the horizontal gradations of colour, the light in the centre band, and the hut that the light picks out from the buildings in the background. Personally, I don’t get the fishing thing! Lots of people here sit round lakes and ponds for hours on end without moving or talking to anyone, and well apart from each other! Nope! I just don’t get it! Maybe we ought to offer them cameras as an alternative – ‘course they might just photograph themselves, their fishing friends and their catches! Hmm! Wait a minute! I sometimes sit on my own, in isolated places, with my camera, talking to no one, just waiting to catch a shot! Oh, my goodness! Ha! Ha!
